"Shut up! As the second wife, you embezzle the first wife's dowry. Isn't it nice to say that? You don't want face, but fourth girl still wants face. Zhaoyi niangniang in the palace also wants face. Later, bring the fu's account book to me. I want to see how you manage the family! "Wang furen's face was pale. The old taitai wanted to take away her power to manage the family." Old taitai … "
Ye Li came forward and interrupted Wang shi. She said softly, "Old taitai, the Wang family is the maternal family of second and fourth sister. Originally, giving them the money was nothing. It was just that … his mother had instructed him to leave some for his grandmother and some for his younger sisters as dowries. Li 'er didn't think it was much. Now, there are only fourth sister, fifth sister, and sixth sister waiting to be betrothed. Each of them should be ten thousand taels. Also, give grandmother thirty thousand taels of silver. It's only sixty thousand taels. " After that, she looked sideways at Zhao yiniang and smiled, "Don't worry, yiniang. If there are younger brothers and sisters in the future, Li 'er will make up for their share." Zhao yiniang was stunned. Originally, she felt some regret and unwillingness. Hearing Ye Li's words, she was happy. She covered her mouth and smiled, "Then I'll take advantage of third miss's auspicious words. Third miss is indeed the legitimate daughter of our Ye family. You really have the demeanor of a great family. "Whether Ye Li would fulfill her promise in the future was another matter. Ye Li's words alone made her happy.
Sixty thousand taels didn't sound much compared to a hundred thousand taels. But Ye Li knew that much of the money was used by the Wang family to open up their career. Otherwise, it was squandered. Now that Wang shi had to take out sixty thousand taels, it was enough for her to vomit blood. Anyway, as long as Zhaoyi was still there, as long as Ye Ying was still Li Wangfei, the old taitai couldn't really do anything to Wang shi. Then let her vomit blood.
Hearing this, Minister Ye felt that Ye Li was very generous. He nodded approvingly, "Li 'er is right. Do as you say." Although she couldn't do anything to Wang shi for the sake of her family, she still didn't like Wang shi taking the family's money for her family. She couldn't help but think of her first wife who bribed the Ye family. She looked at Ye Li even more gently.
The matriarch also agreed. Not only would it save the face of the two families, but it would also save tens of thousands of taels of silver for the dowry. As for the Wang family... the Wang family did not have the ability to compete with the Ye family. Besides, the Wang family was in the wrong to begin with. Even if Ye Zhaoyi was the daughter of the Wang Family, she was still the daughter of the Ye family. She would not blame her family. Looking lovingly at Ye Li, she nodded her head and praised, "Ye Li 'er acts with propriety and is indeed the Mistress of the household. In the future, when you enter the Ding Kingdom, Maternal Grandmother need not worry. The Xu family has a better upbringing. "Mrs. Wang's face darkened. If the Xu family had a better upbringing, did that mean the Wang family had a worse upbringing? Ye Ying glanced at Ye Li and lowered her head in grievance. Mrs. Wang still wanted to say something, but the matriarch glared at her and said coldly, "Or do you really want to go to the capital's magistrate's office?"
"This concubine obeys. I will make up for the money as soon as possible." Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said unwillingly.
"Ying 'er will be married in a few days. You should stay in the courtyard and teach her how to be a wife. "
"Yes." She was grounded. She didn't even have the chance to go to the palace to complain to Zhaoyi niangniang.
Qing Yi Xuan
Ye Li sat leisurely in the room and looked at the banknotes that had just been sent from the Li Palace. A sneer flashed across her beautiful face. It turned out that Li Wang and Ye Ying had hooked up a year ago. In the past year, Li Wang had taken away more than 17,000 taels of antiques from Shen De Xuan, but he had never given her a single tael of silver.
"Miss, this Li Wang is really shameless!" Qing Shuang stood behind Ye Li and said angrily. Li Wang was a famous handsome man in the capital. Qing Shuang had some expectations for this future son-in-law. She didn't expect that this blind guy would break off the engagement and ruin her reputation. That was fine, but he even dared to take her Miss's things for free. He was really shameless!
Ye Li turned around and handed the banknotes to Qing Shuang. She laughed and said, "Is this something you can say? Be careful not to be heard by others. I can't save you. "Qing Shuang stuck out her tongue in shame. She shrunk her shoulders and said," I know Miss won't leave me alone. What's more … who will hear us in our courtyard? "Qing Yi Xuan was the smallest and most remote courtyard in the entire Ye Mansion. There were only a few servants in the courtyard. Other than a few rough maidservants, she was the only one by the young miss's side. Compared to Ye Ying's servants, Miss was even worse off than a concubine's daughter.
"Miss, why did you let Madame Wang go so easily today?" Thinking of Wang Shi's pale face and tottering appearance, Qing Shuang felt both refreshed and unreconciled.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Madame Wang is the mother of Zhaoyi in the palace. Fourth Sister is the future Princess Li. Do you think Grandmother and Father will treat her well because of me? "
After thinking carefully, Qing Shuang lowered her head and muttered, "Old Madame and Master are too partial." Of course, even if Madame Wang spit out tens of thousands of taels of silver, Miss didn't see a single cent. Ye Li patted her and smiled, "Don't worry. With Madame Wang's tens of thousands of taels of silver, at least I can take away the rest of Mother's dowry. Compared to Mother's dowry, tens of thousands of taels of silver are nothing."
Qing Shuang nodded. She didn't like Ye Mansion anymore. Ye family had a weak foundation. If it weren't for Madame Wang's dowry, they wouldn't have the glory today. But look at Miss's life these years. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were cruel and unscrupulous.
Worried that her words would make Miss sad, Qing Shuang quickly changed the topic, "By the way, Miss, Madame Ye mentioned this morning that there are too few people around Miss. Should we add a few more so that it won't look bad when you go to King Ding's Mansion in the future? "
Ye Li frowned. Ye Li knew that there were too few people around her. But Ye Li used to like peace and quiet. She didn't want people around her to follow her around, so she didn't care much. But if she wanted to get married, it would be a problem. She didn't care about Madame Wang because she was sure that Madame Wang couldn't do anything to her. And she couldn't live in Ye Mansion for a lifetime. But if she married into King Ding's Mansion in the future, she couldn't be so casual. She rubbed her eyebrows and thought, "Later, you go and tell the chief steward that I want to pick a few maids in the courtyard." Qing Shuang nodded, "Then the nannies who serve by your side …"
"Don't worry about this. A few days ago, Aunt said that she would send Mother Lin and Mother Wei, who were originally by Mother's side, over in two days." When Mother passed away, Ye Li just got her memory back and fell seriously ill. During this period, Madame Wang took the opportunity to stir up trouble. She beat Mother's wet nurse, Mother Su, and drove her out of the mansion. When Ye Li got a little better, she knew that at this time, there were only Mother Lin and Ye Li's wet nurse, Mother Wei left by Mother's side. Ye Li naturally knew Madame Wang's thoughts. She also knew that she couldn't protect these people at that time. So, she used the excuse that she was worried about Grandmother's sadness and sent Mother Lin and Mother Wei back to Gu Mansion. These years, there were many Madame Wang's people in the mansion. Ye Li was too lazy to care about them. The fewer people around her, the better.
